My business has a large project from a client, essentially, providing staff augmentation services. The client seemed like nice people, but the project has just kicked off, and they are really worrying me. They are saying they don't know if we are serious about the project, making false accusations about our intent, and 'are unhappy with how we do topic x y z' -- when they haven't even talked to us about topic x y z yet.
Whenever I get an email from them my stomach churns, since the kick-off meeting last week this is the only thing that has been on my mind. All the above arguments/issues happened in the kick-off alone.
The project is over 4 years and will personally net me about ~35k/y. I'm 23 and work a full-time job as well. I really want to supplement my work income with this as it will jump me to 6 figures per year. I want to save the cash, so I can pursue other ideas in the future.
My biggest issue is that if we drop this client, there is no other client, the business will essentially run with little to no revenue, it's not the worst thing in the world, because I started this business as a non-profit anyway, to help people, so it'll be fine. But, the opportunity is unique, in that, I can't go and find another client - the business will be fine and helping people, I just won't make any money.
Should I just deal with the client, make my money, and hope it gets better, or should I drop them and let this run/find a new business? Is this just how it is, am I being too sensitive?
